I dispute #4. It’s redundant, partly because the General is clearly the paragon of Loyalty himself so such breaches will never happen, partly because all the orders relate only to Soldiers and the General does not count as a common Soldier for the purposes of orders, and mostly because rule “2.7.2 Martial Law” does not allow the General to be reported in the first place. Removing the rule will therefore help ease the administrative load on the court-martial process, leaving more time for war, without negative side effects.

Do you, perhaps, mean to dispute order #5 instead of order #4?

Yes, that’s what I meant. Sorry, wrong number…

Disputing #12
Reason: Darth Cliche.

Disputing #19.
Reason: Soliders often make typos when making comments, or realize something after it was posted. While I can understand that for this post, applying it elsewhere is overkill.

Darth Cliche -  though I’m amused that it was you that did this, if you’d let the order remain undisputed, you would have dropped below -50, then just never had to do anything and always be breaking martial law.
Clucky -    Good point, should have limited it.

Disputing Order #9 - New recruits should not be penalised during the short period between an admin handing out their uniform, and their first visit to the armoury.

Disputing Order #11.

I have complete faith that there is a good reason that this order was placed. However, my parents blessed me with an unusual number of Es in my name. I do not feel this makes me incapable of being an Ideal Soldier; I realise I have yet to reach such heights of Loyalty, but I fear the day that a Soldier reports me for my name being inappropriate to my ideals and my understanding of the importance of our cause.

Please be considerate in your deliberations. My Loyalty is Absolute.

Disputing: #‘s 18, 17, 11, 10, 6, and 2 because soldiers should not be penalized for things which are not in their control or things that are constantly changing.

Please try to keep my loyalty even by increasing my loyalty for some and decreasing my loyalty for others.

Disputing: #‘s 16, 15, 14, 7, 8 because several of these are random or unfair to certain players or DDA members or require explanations for every single vote in flavor text, which is annoying and unnessesery, or are unfairly restrictive.

Kevin -  It should be changed too allow oppurtunity to be armed.
Devenger -  It wouldn’t do for such loyalty as yours to be limited.

Wak - Intentionally not responding, you disputed WAY to many orders in your post, and the issues are ones which were INTENTIONAL.  The rules are supposed to be restrictive and/or nearly impossible to avoid.  Next set of rules will build off of this one, and eventually it’s going to be difficult to post without breaking at least one regulation.

Disputing #15.

The DDA must have clear lines of communication if it is to operate within the rigid army framework.

I’ll wait 48 hour then…

Or can I revoke it somehow? Because it seems pretty jerk-like to just wait and get rid of them.

Disputing Order #17

Reason: We must be extremely loyal, and this order prevents that.

Disputing Order #2

Reason: The dead must not be punished more for failing to defeat the enemy.  They work hard, so if they are killed before they can kill, they should not be punished for it.

Please note that Wakky’s dispute has no effect.

“A soldier may post a comment in the Active Orders with the text “Disputing Order #X” where X is replaced by the number of the Order which they wish to dispute”

“18, 17, 11, 10, 6, and 2” is not a single order’s number.  Neither is “16, 15, 14, 7, 8”.

And finally…

Disputing Order #18

Reason: In my humble opinion, I feel that bravely blowing the enemy to pieces with ammunition is very loyal.  We should not be punished for shooting our enemies.

Disputing Order #10

Reasoning: As a medic, I am limited to one heal of two HP/ soldier/ skirmish. If I have already healed somone once or am not on, I have no way of saving a Soldier. Somtimes there is nothing to do other then let them die, so it is not the medic’s fault.

I would prefer to gain loyalty for this.

Disputing Order #14

Reason: Rodlen has broken several of the orders. It sets a bad example for the new recruits.

—Also Wak, your Disputing half a million orders post wasn’t even a proper dispute post, as you did not do it in the form “Disputing Order #X”.

Disputing Order #6

While I agree that loyal soldiers should do their best to report all problems to the general, because we are only allowed one such report per day we might find ourselves in a situation where there is too many acts of disloyalty for us to properly report within the alloted time frame.

Disputing Order #15

Reason: Not thorough. DDF is still allowed.  DDG is.  DD* is.

Note on #16:  This effectively bars anyone from voting on proposals, since Flavor Text can’t be “seen” by anything that affects the Gamestate.

Note that this post no longer has any discernible effect on the Gamestate, the related rules having been repealed. I will leave this stickied for the time being, though another Admin can unsticky it if they like.

Unstickying so as to not confuse the general population.
